Rush Limbaugh and his chaos is about all the liberal pundits are talking about. Limbaugh scares the hell out of the democrats, that's why they would like to bring back the fartness doctrine. Republicans oppose it. Republicans defend free speech and many other freedoms. Democrats want to restrict personal freedoms, that is so they can keep the masses under control, which is needed in a socialist state.

Why shouldn't the vote of a Michigander or Floridian be counted?

Because the DNC set rules which stated that Mi and Fl could not move their primaries up in time, they did so the DNC stated their votes wouldn't count. Hillary said (at the time) they/we should go along with the rules the DNC set up. Now that Hillary needs those votes, she wants to go back and have them count. That does not seem fair as Obama elected not to campaign in those two states because of the rules set by the DNC. The whole damn thing stinks, including hillary and the whole DNC and it's silly system of primary elections. However, what do we expect from dims. This is how they would run the country, haphazardly.

Remember how Bill always stuck his finger into the wind and acted accordingly, slavishly bending to every poll? That's how Hillary will govern. Might be a good thing for the republicans. The congress was republican when Bill was president and they got him to pass most of the republican bills to forward the republican agenda.

The votes in both states were counted. Period. The people voted and had their votes counted. When the DNC told the citizens of Michigan and Florida that if their states moved the primaries up then their delegates would not be seated at the convention, they went ahead anyway. The citizens of those states agreed with the rules set by the DNC and also agreed to move up the primaries. All actions have consequences. Thumbing your nose at the world is useless and that's what both those states did. The Michigan and Florida delegates should not be seated.

How can you seat the delegates when 45% of Michigan voters literally voted for "undecided" because Obama and other candidates were not on the ballot? I'm not sure of the ballot in Florida. Nobody campaigned in either state. All the democratic candidates agreed to not campaign and to ask for their names to be removed from the ballots. The 2 states did not want to go the expense of printing new ballots. Total confusion reigned.

It is unnerving that she may actually pull off the scam right in front of everyone who is watching. I fear Operation Chaos may backfire and this woman who stands for everything I despise actually make it to the White House. The only thing good thus far has been the weaknesses of Mr. Obama that she has exposed. I wonder when he will begin fighting fire with fire himself. Certainly he can recruit rattlesnakes similar to James Carville that would know how to fight dirty.

There are many things about Hillary still undiscovered and not discussed. She went through a 60's radical period, she did legal work that has been criticized, she was a "Goldwater Girl", there still are the options profits and whitewater that will be trotted out. I think the Clintons can fight dirty on their own.

We've only scratched the surface with MR. OBAMMA. I think there's a lot in his closet we need to know about. Like his flirting with hard narcotics and the relationship he has had either directly or indirectly with Mr. Louis Farrakhan and HIS church. I'm also concerned about the way he wants to approach the terrorists and how much money he is receiving either directly or indirectly from entities overseas and who they are. This man is about as close to a socialist as we have seen in 60 years.

It seems to me that before we start overtaxing oil companies, I think it's about time we remove the tax exempt status of churches and religious groups. It is clear, at least to me, that at least some of the religious groups have morphed into something wholly different than what we think they are. These money generating organizations need to be taxed and taxed at least as much as companies are taxed.

The oil companies should pay windfall profit taxes unless they show concretely that "excess" profits are rolled back into things like gasoline refineries, oil tanker improvements, phisical plant and infrastructure.
Make Healthcare insurance providers nonprofit when selling health insurance to individuals, maybe even everyone. Note: Nonprofit allows paying some shithead CEO hundreds of millions of dollars to bang his secretary and play golf.
That's a start.

Let me ask you something. Multiple choice. If the world price for oil is $100 a barrel, and the US government "limits speculation" on oil by setting a price ceiling of $80 a barrel, how much oil will producers sell to the US?
a. none of their oil b. none of their oil c. none of their oil
> The oil companies should pay windfall profit taxes Oil companies' profit margins average 10%, far lower than many other industries such as media. How about a "windfall profit tax" on liberal Hollywood media companies like Time-Warner (profit margin 19%).
> unless they show > concretely that "excess" profits are rolled back into things like > gasoline refineries, oil tanker improvements, phisical plant and > infrastructure. Most of these are subject to the red tape and other government encumberances detailed above. Want to know why there have been no refineries built in a generation? Ask Greenpeace and the Environmental Defense Fund.
> Make Healthcare insurance providers nonprofit when selling health > insurance to individuals, maybe even everyone. Oh, so you want to destroy the earnings of teachers unions whose pension plans are invested in them. Example: TIAA-CREF's College Retirement Equities Fund owns over 5 million shares of Aetna, over 2 million shares of McKesson, and more than a million shares each of Humana and Coventry Health Care.
By the way, you didn't answer the question. Identify ONE aspect of business that is not encumbered as I outlined above:
